Form

I am a professional blacksmith. I shape manufactured steel into tools and things that function.

This drive to build and produce without concern for our connection the world has turned on us. My association with this process is driving me to explore my complicity. These sculptures represents the desire to escape from the Anthropocene. I want to run from the damage and destruction that we have caused with our progress but in order to be free I must investigate my connection.
